I remembered! Here is 10 week picture - not a lot of change yet. Hopefully my sports bra doesn't bug you.

Heart to Heart
I just realized today how lame I am at keeping up with any sort of blog/journal/etc. I thought I would be writing in this every day, and here I am weeks later with no update.
However, today is a good one. Heck, a GREAT one. We went in this morning for doctor's appointment #2 and got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time! It was going strong at 175 bpm (some old wive's tales say that over 140 means a girl *fingers crossed*). It was so incredible to think this small little baby only an inch long had this loud racing heartbeat. It helped make everything seem more real (not that the nausea ISN'T...). My weight had gone down 4.5 lbs since the first visit, but they said that can be common with the nausea, and the fact that I've had a cold the past week.
Hopefully tomorrow I will remember to take a belly update picture since I will be in week 10! That means 1/4 of the way down already.
How far along: 9 weeks, 6 days
Baby is the size of: an olive
Weight: 144
Gym: haha, I should just take this question out....
Water: not much
Cravings: grilled cheese & tomato soup - totally hit the spot tonight!

First Appointment
Today we went in for our first doctor's appointment. Mostly she talked about our options for doctor vs. midwife, what to eat/not eat, what to expect the next 9 months, etc. I had to have blood drawn to do some basic testing. The most exciting part was making our next appointment, where we'll get to hear the heartbeat!
Last week was our honeymoon for 10 days in Costa Rica. About 2 or 3 days into the trip nausea really set in hard. I will feel so hungry that I'm going to be sick, but then when I actually get food I can barely eat anything. Some days are better than others. The doctor told me today it's important to constantly graze so you don't hit that point of severe sickness. I have thrown up a handful of times over the past week. This baby better be cute ;)
How far along: 7 weeks
Baby is the size of: a blueberry!
Weight: 149
Gym: no
Water: 48 oz
Cravings: carbohydrates! They help to settle my stomach. All I've eaten today is rice, pasta, cereal, crackers, and bread (gross!)
